I'm on Linux. I see that when I updated my libproj, a new epsg file was
installed. I don't usually use that file. I did here because I wanted to
duplicate your exact command. 4258 is defined as:

<4258> +proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +no_defs  <>

I'm curious why you use both the definition in the epsg file, as well as
the one in rdnap. Why not everything in the rdnap file? What is your
definition for 4258?

If I change my command to:

cs2cs  -r  +to +init=rdnap:rdnap

I see that the grid shift file is now read. But my computed values are
still:

182225.9086     311388.1617 128.9976
